Chapter 398 - Revenge 399: She Admires Nathalia (1/2)
Since Nathalia is her Daddy's little girl, the moment her father hears about the bad rumors about her, he will take action. It's safe to assume that most people already knew that her father spoils her too much.
Knowing what Nathalia is trying to say, Zen looks at her and said, ”So you're gonna use uncle Leo's name now?” Ever since childhood, Zen has always known that Nathalia doesn't like it when people say that she is great because of her background.
Nathalia had enough of it, and since then, she wants to stand out without people mentioning her background. Make a name out for herself. It is kind of ironic that she wants to do something that won't involve her father and yet, she is letting her father stop the bad rumors about her.
”As if I can do anything about it.” Nathalia started. ”Even if I want to erase those bad rumors about me by myself, my father will be always the first one to make a move. That is just the way he is.” No matter how many times she tells her father that she wants to take care of it herself, he never allows her.
He said that he will let his daughter to anything that he wants, but protecting her is his job, and there is nothing she can do about it.
”Your father is so overprotective of you, I wonder what will happen when you get yourself a boyfriend.” Anna ponders. Believing that her brother will soon realize his feelings for Nathalia, Anna is somewhat worried about her brother.
Even if Aaron is Mary Coleman's son, there is no guarantee that Leonardo Vendallin will go soft on him. Aaron will surely have a hard time coaxing Nathalia's father in the future.
”Oh, Anna. It's obvious what my father will do. He will do whatever is necessary to get rid of the guy, and of course, if that guy is being persistent, my father might like him.” Knowing her father's characteristics, Nathalia is sure that if her boyfriend is persistent in continuing a relationship with her, her father will take a liking to that guy.
If only that 'guy' is Aaron, Nathalia is sure that everything will go just fine. However, she just can't freely imagine herself being with Aaron. That person is a bit oblivious of her feelings, even if she displays it in an obvious way, he will not see right through her.
Remembering all the tries that she did is only making her feel sulky. She even sometimes curse Aaron for not recognizing all her efforts. 'Damn him.' Nathalia inwardly said.
While Anna and her friends are continuing their conversation, there was a loud commotion coming near the room. They noticed it, but they decided not to pay attention to it because they believe it has nothing to do with them.
”You're the one who hid the dress, didn't you?!”
”W-What are you talking about?! It's not me! Don't accuse me without any evidence!”
”Evidence, you say? Someone told me that they saw you bringing Anna's dress out of the room, then passing it to Elizabeth!”
Those were the words Anna and her friends heard. Originally, they wouldn't even bother themself listening to the whole thing, but when Anna's name was mentioned in the same sentence with Elizabeth's, they couldn't help but be curious about it.
”For some reason, I'm not that surprised to hear that Elizabeth planned that scheme to mess with me. Why is that?” Even after what happened yesterday, Anna is not even angry that someone hid her dress. Even if Elizabeth took part in it, she couldn't bring herself to get angry at her.
Is it because everything went well after what happened? Or is it because of some other reason that she couldn't tell? Well, whatever it is, Anna is content that the mystery behind her missing dress is already solved.
”The reason for that is simple, my dear sister. It's because you don't about the dress or about Elizabeth at all.” Aaron spoke. ”Let's look outside the room, shall we? I want to see how this show goes.”
Aaron was the first one to stand, then he was followed by Anna and the others. They watched the whole unfold in front of them. The main people who are arguing didn't even notice them watching.
